Philips CE153DR

This Halfords-sourced head unit is really easy to use, and includes USB slots at the front and at the rear, as well as Bluetooth hands-free connectivity.

Plus, all this comes at a really competitive price – at £139.99, the Philips falls between the Kenwood and Pioneer head units.

However, it narrowly missed out on a place on our podium because it didn’t display the track names when we played tracks from Spotify.

Still, if you can live without this and the lack of a CD slot, the CE153DR is a strong choice.
